wow. never thought of that before. Now that i think about it..that is so true. In all the food markets ive been to, in 7th, saxe-breteuil, rue raspail, place monge in 5th, oh many of them have decorated their stalls in those red checkered cloth! cool.

That's a GREAT idea Good Life in Virginia! It hadn't occured me as I was pulling this post together :) All those blacks and greys of the new Eiffel Tower decor can definitely use a splash of red check to spruce it up.BIG MERCI!Carolg :)

After a week's absence I now made the tour of your last posts! Again completely impressed and amazed by your perfect Paris feeling, so well expressed in words, photos, paintings!!! I don't think anybody could do it better! I will continue to do my best to recommend it to all friends!

I took ill in a restaurant in Paris last year and the owners gave me a red/white checked napkin to wipe my brow. They let me keep it and it ended up on a piece of Ghost Furniture which is now with an artist in London. You just made me want it back :(

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5 and I'm still at it. Now I live by the Seine on l'Ile Saint-Louis. Do consider subscribing to my Paris letters and maps on Etsy and enjoy a taste of Paris in your mailbox every month to savor with a hot chocolate and croissant. I paint Paris dreams.
